ABOUT Women in Ecommerce™
Thank you for your interest in Women in Ecommerce™. I am delighted to share a little bit about our organization which has been helping women do business on the web since 2001.
Women in Ecommerce is a registered Not for Profit organization (501c6). For the past twenty two+ years, Women in Ecommerce™ has been helping women do business on the web by providing educational events, seminars, webinars, conferences and teleclasses via our website and social media platforms. We have a diverse membership of women from all walks of life representing 56 countries worldwide.
The mission of Women in Ecommerce is to empower women with educational opportunities to enhance their businesses using the Internet and Social Media.
The concept for Women in Ecommerce was born when our founder, I attended a Technology Conference and Trade Show hosted by the Broward County (Florida) School System in 2001. Inspired by the passion of several other attendees and realizing the need for an organization that would be the center for women to learn all they could about ecommerce, I started creating the Master Plan for this resource and membership site.
About that same time, I was invited to attend and speak at The Annual Conference of the Connected International Meeting Professionals Association – CIMPA that was taking place in Egypt in the fall of 2001. My topic, Networking in the Digital Age (this was before Facebook).
It was a life-changing event, where I had the privilege to speak and made connections with several of the female presenters and attendees and with their help, the original Board of Advisors was born.
One of the keynote speakers during that event, Linda Pereira, President and CEO of CPL Events in Lisbon, Portugal was instrumental in facilitating the coordination of the International Board. Her connections and knowledge of global protocol helped Women in Ecommerce become a truly diverse, global community of women eager to expand their influence and businesses in ways that prior to the internet were only possible with deep pockets and vast resources.
With our team of leaders, Women in Ecommerce™ became the original business and social networking community focusing on education and business development for successful women who want to take their businesses to a new level offline and online. We offer tools, resources and networking opportunities to build a strong foundation for future growth and expansion.
Our original vision statement is still relevant today: “The voice of business, professional and executive women, we provide virtual and in-person opportunities for collaboration, networking, personal and professional development, increase prosperity, leadership and international recognition. We have our eyes and ears open for the latest trends in ecommerce and social media. Women in Ecommerce™ is the place where smart women hang out!”
